**Core value:** Network traffic patterns are instantly recognizable as distinct sounds — a ping sounds different from HTTPS noise, which sounds different from a port scan.
- [v1.1 Roadmap]: Phase 5 consolidates waveform types (WAVE-01, WAVE-02) with bank decoupling — both are internal refactors with no user-visible surface, establishing the injectable seam before config is added
- [v1.1 Roadmap]: Research steps 5+6 (wire config + freq/waveform overrides) collapsed into Phase 6 — they share the same integration boundary (encode.RunSynthesis signature change) and are safer to land together
- [v1.1 Roadmap]: User class name collision with built-in TrafficClass strings is an unresolved design question — decide before coding Phase 7 (treat as override vs. reject as ambiguous)
- [Phase 7 pre-work]: User-defined class names that collide with built-in class strings (e.g., `class = "HTTPS"`) require an explicit design decision before Phase 7 coding begins. Research flags this as unresolved. Options: treat as override (simplest) or reject as ambiguous. Resolve during Phase 7 planning.
